The RIT Packing List

I can be a little detailed sometimes. My packing list for RIT was no exception. Traveling from Texas to NY meant that I wasn’t going to be able to drive up, so I had to bring everything I wanted in three suitcases. I bought the rest when I arrived in Rochester.

I am an art major, so I have a little more on my supply lists you might need. I have also added some things I’ve heard from friends that was important to them. If you have any questions about specific items, please reach out to me!

If I have put an asterisk by it, it means I view it as an essential to everyone, but again you can use your best discretion!

Bedroom Items:

*Bedspread/comforter

*Extra-long sheets/pillowcase

Extra set of sheets

*Pillow

Mattress pad (make sure to check regulations)

Desk lamp

Energy-efficient light bulbs

Trunks, crates, or other storage containers

Under bed storage

Bed raisers

Bookends

Trash Basket (NOTE: your room will come with one trash can and recycle bin, so you probably don’t need another one!)

Bulletin Board

Poster mounts for photos and posters

3M Command Strips to hang decorations/towels, etc.

Febreeze

Any pictures, posters

Christmas Lights

Big lamp or light for the room, this really helps with the atmosphere so you don’t have to have the big lights on all the time!
